Breeland participated in a free-agent workout with New England on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Breeland was waived by Baltimore prior to the 2021 season with a non-football injury designation, but it appears he might now have another shot at an NFL roster with the Patriots. New England currently carries only Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith at tight end, despite running plenty of two-TE sets, so it would make some sense to bring in Breeland as a depth option.

Jacob Breeland: Time in Baltimore at an end
Rotowire
The Ravens waived Breeland (knee) with a non-football injury designation Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Breeland has been sidelined due to a knee injury since going undrafted out of Oregon in 2020, so his time with the Ravens comes to an end without ever practicing with the team. The second-year tight end will continue to work his way back from the ACL tear that cut his final collegiate season short. Breeland will likely need to prove he's healthy before getting a chance elsewhere in the league.

Ravens' Jacob Breeland: Moves to non-football injury list
Rotowire
The Ravens placed Breeland (knee) on the non-football injury list Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Head coach John Harbaugh said in May he hoped Breeland would be ready for the start of training camp, but the tight end is apparently still recovering from the torn ACL during his final collegiate season at Oregon in 2019. The 24-year-old missed the entirety of the 2020 campaign, and it's unclear if he's suffered a setback or is simply making slow progress in his recovery.

Ravens' Jacob Breeland: Targeting training camp
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that he hopes Breeland (knee) will be ready for training camp, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Breeland is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in his final season at Oregon. The injury forced him to miss his entire rookie season in 2020, but it appears that Breeland is now at least nearing a return to full health. Mark Andrews, Nick Boyle (knee) and Josh Oliver are all likely locks to make Baltimore's regular-season roster, so Breeland will be competing for one of a limited amount of depth roles once back to 100 percent.

Jacob Breeland: Waived by Baltimore
Rotowire
The Ravens waived Breeland (knee) with a non-football injury designation Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Breeland is still working to recover from the ACL tear he suffered during his final season at Oregon. The Ravens previously suggested that Breeland is a part of their plans for the future, so the team is evidently betting that he'll clear waivers and revert to the NFI list.

Jacob Breeland: To be waived/injured
Rotowire
Breeland (knee) is expected to be waived/injured by the Ravens, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Such a move is the precursor to reverting to injured reserve. If that happens, Breeland will be stashed for the season as he continues to recover from a torn ACL and meniscus in his left knee, which he sustained last October.

Ravens' Jacob Breeland: Headed for redshirt
Rotowire
Breeland (knee) isn't expected to play this year, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Coach John Harbaugh hinted at Breeland earning a roster spot, but it now seems an IR spot is more likely. The undrafted rookie suffered a torn ACL and meniscus last October, finishing his senior season at Oregon with a 26-405-6 receiving line in six games. The Ravens have placed Breeland on the non-football injury list, leaving Eli Wolf and Charles Scarff as the available tight ends behind starters Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle.

Ravens' Jacob Breeland: Chance to earn roster spot
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that he expects one of Breeland (knee) and Eli Wolf to make the regular-season roster, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Breeland and Wolf both joined Baltimore as undrafted free agents, so neither will have the benefit of draft capital to propel them toward a roster spot. However, Breeland is recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus sustained in October, which prevented him from participating in the NFL Combine. If the Oregon product is still limited when training camp begins, he could have difficulty competing for a lone roster spot with Wolf.
